poll Will .com (dot com) be King in 2017?

[Michael Ehrhardt]

I don,t think so...

 

[Michael Ehrhardt]

Interesting : people get more offers ( sales ) on ccTLD than on unsponsored gTLD ( .com )

so why is .com still King ?

What means King ? Sales ? Bid,s ? just Popular ? Registration ? high Sales ?

.Com has been established for as long as the internet has been around. There are a few extensions that can do well here and there but as far as any tld replacing the dominance of .com on the internet in 2017, that is ridiculous. It is way too early for that to happen especially with the last 20+ years of .com established already. Some killer keywords will always do well in a few of these new extensions but nothing at all equal to what the same keyword in .com would fetch.

By the way, out of your 6 domains in your signature (VR.Loans VRKinos.com VRGamesKing.com VRGameKings.com VRGamesKings.com VRHoloPortation.com), 5 of them are .com. Try selling any of those 5 domains in any other extension in 2017 and I am sure you will have your answer.

Ok, I think it's good to diversify..
VRgamers.at
VRfootball.at
VRsportslink.com
VRgamelink.com

Keep your one word gtlds. I dropped a decent name, because the renewal fee was over $150 and I got no offers. Recently looked at it and a big communication company is using it.

Keep your one word gtlds.... good advice, but what was the name ?

Will .com (dot com) be King in 2017?
Yes.

But by 2025 there will be so many Kings.

I dropped voip.business

 

[Kuffy]

How long will,it be before there is a .king extension?

 

[garptrader]

Imagine what would happen if we opened a new thread on Namepros for every business we found using a .COM

 

[Ted.T]

I've seen many "attacks" on the king, but it always survived... So, I still think that .com will remain the king, no matter how many other extensions will be rolled-out.

Lol! Ahh yes, change is the only constant. But I just can't see it happening in our lifetime. Trends will come and go, but the dot com will remain King!

thats what we thought when we had D-Mark
and suddenly there is Euro

what,s wrong on some nice changing ?
more chances for more people

that,s good
or not ?

 

[tomcarl]

Not only will it remain king, gTLDs will raise the value of .com

Those who develop successful businesses/websites on dot-hacks will want to acquire the .com version and will be in a better position to purchase, otherwise competitors will desire the .com versions of generic domain hacks to build on (gamer.blog goes viral, gamerblog.com = worth more)

I do believe a handful of g's will get mainstream recognition/status of .org, .net as years pass.

Unless sites like youtube.com / facebook.com all decide to start using .xyz and let their .coms drop - maybe, but its like trying to change the entire official language of a country - just based off the idea that some people might start learning their own languages on their own. Without some kind major issue with verisign - i dont see the wall falling for a while

.com is like the new car dealer that sells you a quality car. They make sure you don't have problems driving your car with the best guarantees.

New g's is like a used car dealer that convinces you the car will run forever with false promises and no guarantees.

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

Yes, Yes, and Yes. I have many domains and the ones I sell or receive offers are 97% of the time the .com ones. Most of the time, the new Gs or other extensions are available but no one cares. .com or nothing

 

[imadoer]

Only invest in .top (just kidding)
Don't know why these threads continue NOTHING WILL EVER pass .com get over it.

Have you considered that sites like youtube.com and facebook.com might get replaced?

People have short memories. Let's remember MySpace and AIM...

Think of it as a multi-cultural country. Iron Curtain, Berlin Wall...the walls have already fallen.
